How Often to Change 2000 Volkswagen Cabrio Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2000 Volkswagen Cabrio? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Volkswagen recommends having your 2000 Volkswagen Cabrio’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above.

Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Volkswagen Cabrio. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
